Should I buy or rent a home in Mongolia?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Mongolia, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Mongolia, it is important to consider the cost of living, the availability of housing, and the length of time you plan to stay in the country. Buying a home in Mongolia can be a great investment, as property values are likely to increase over time. However, it is important to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs, as well as the cost of a mortgage. Renting a home in Mongolia can be a more cost-effective option, as it eliminates the need for a large down payment and allows for more flexibility in terms of length of stay. Additionally, renting can provide access to a wider range of housing options, as there are more rental properties available than there are for sale. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Mongolia should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," said a member in Mongolia.
